Stion is expanding its US manufacturing facility in Mississippi, which has been luring green manufacturing plants. It plans to expand the plant, which recently began production, to 500 MW over the next six years, creating 1000 solar jobs. Stion will also soon launch "Stion Korea," a new subsidiary which will build a factory there to serve the Asian and European markets.

Lead investor AVACO makes solar thin-film processing equipment, and will work with Stion to develop next generation production equipment, focusing on lowering costs, improving tool productivity and increasing module efficiency.

It's time to tell the truth about solar power – it isn’t making ANY difference. In the last 10 years more than $1 trillion was spent worldwide and yet new demand outpaced this solar capacity by 3:1.
It’s clear something needs to be done, but even if we spent $500 billion on solar in the next few years the reduction in CO2 emissions would be less than 3%.
We should be looking at burning natural gas cleaner with the proven technology of oxy-fuel combustion (replacing coal and conventional NG), which has very low emissions of CO2 and no NOX. $500 billion invested in that idea would cut CO2 by +70%.
There is a solution. The Introduction is here: http://www.solutioneur.com
Let’s make some real progress and stop pretending solar is going to solve the problem – it cannot.
